Beryl Blend

A destiny written in the wind

Born in England but shaped by the red earth of Kenya, Beryl Markham grew up among the children of local tribes, her gaze already fixed on the horizon. The first woman to cross the Atlantic solo from east to west, she dared where many would not have even dreamed. An explorer of the skies, a horse tamer, and an accomplished writer, she made every moment an escape into the unknown. An elegant rebel and a fierce pioneer, she sculpted her destiny in the crisp air of the great outdoors, forging her own path far from the beaten track.

Beryl Blend tea is a tribute to a radiant figure

A well-structured black tea with invigorating notes, echoing her insatiable energy and indomitable spirit. This cup also pays homage to the red soil of Kenya where she grew up, the same Kenya where tea plantations stretch as far as the eye can see, vibrant under the sun.
It was there, between misty hills and blazing sunlight, that Beryl Markham's spirit found its strength. A cup to celebrate those who, like her, live by the compass of the heart. This blend gracefully embodies the spirit of Maison Betjeman & Barton: a feminine heritage where audacity meets refinement, and where each leaf tells a story of passion and expertise.

Tea and food pairings
Beryl blend pairs wonderfully with a delicate caramelized pineapple tart, an orange blossom madeleine, or a mango-pineapple sorbet, which will enhance its tropical freshness. Each sip is an invitation to escape. A promise of untamed elegance. A stopover in a wider world.

Tea-based recipes and cocktails
Cold-brewed, Beryl Blend becomes the ideal base for a "Sunset Cooler": blend it with fresh orange juice, a touch of passion fruit syrup, and a few mint leaves. Extended with sparkling water, it becomes refreshing, vibrant, almost summery. In a cocktail, it pairs perfectly with amber rum, a splash of citrus liqueur, and a slice of caramelized pineapple: a liquid tribute to boldness and elegance.
